Tesco paid me to take their food home!

It is Sunday which means once again I went on a reduced food find at my local Tesco’s. It was really quiet today and I had a great selection available. This meant that I learnt something new today! I had bought heavily reduced meat, two packets of mince at 23p each and hunters chicken at 20p. As the food was being scanned I realised it was knocking more money off than usual. The meat was on a three for £10 deal but although my meat only came to 66p it knocked a further two pound off my receipt! Therefore in addition to having the meat Tesco’s actually paid me £2! which obviously came off the other items. The same happened again with some more food, I think it muct have been veg and again £2 was deducted for food that cost pennies!

Therefore I ended up with six full carrier bags of shopping and it cost next to nothing! I’m not going to tell you, just how much but watch the two minute youtube clip to see my receipt at the end!!

That is truly amazing, I have never food that cheap before, do you know if it is all Tesco before they close on a Sunday or just your local one? I must investigate. Clever buys Emma. Mich xMichelle Twin Mum recently posted…4 Reasons Why Mummy Guilt is Unhealthy

Thank you for the tips on shopping the reduced section at Tesco – I’m not quite in your league, but your tips saved me several pounds this morning, particularly the one about them knocking off the 3 for £10 after they’ve taken off the individual discounts. Posh sausages for less than the mid-range ones – Yay!

What a fabulous haul! My sister is lucky enough to shop at 7pm and queues up with people to get these bargains in Tesco and lately they’ve been down to 1p which she can’t understand. In fact there’s a video that’s gone viral of one Tesco store where there’s almost a fight and staff have to shout at the shoppers to move back so they can move away. So you were very lucky that it was quiet that day, I think everyone around here is very clued up on turning up at the right time in our local Tesco!Camilla recently posted…Curried Egg Mayonnaise with Ham & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato
